Darren's Sci-Fi Freak Page

Hey, I'm a bear. Not many computers where I come from. There will be more content soon.
Me and Ferrari Ted at the Silverstone Grand Prix giving some final tips to Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher. He didn't listen. He didn't win. Go figure.
It's a curious thing that humans, having created houses full of home comforts and technology and everything that they need to be comfortable still feel an almost primal need to 'get back to nature' and rough it (with the exception of Darren who hates camping). It's even more curious that when they act upon these urges, they do so by creating temporary homes which they fill with all the home comforts that they can pack into the boot of a car.
Bears, of course, are much closer to nature than humans anyway. This is why there are all those jokes about what bears do in the woods, which are, quite frankly, offensive to those of us of an ursine nature.
Human beings, like bears, are very sociable creatures. At heart, you people are tribal by nature. Get any three of you in one place and you start creating groups. It doesn't matter whether it's a sewing circle, a trade union or a country. Any excuse to band together with a common goal that you can then all argue over.
Take this World Cup thing. It's only a game and yet for you it's an excuse to all wear the same thing and cry about your team not winning. True, you never see a grizzly and a polar bear sitting down to a meal together, but that's because of their table manners.
